Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Can be Fatal. It is also linked to strokes, high blood pressure, heart disease and other diseases and conditions. Physicians prescribe Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) masks; the Gold Standard. When learned first-hand by IADMD® and Dr. Dental founder, Jack Ryan, DMD, from his patients, reasons why they don’t use CPAP: “cumbersome,” “invasive,” “loud,” “bacteria-collecting masks and hoses” “attached to machines,” etc., this lack of compliance became a grave concern. Dr. Ryan believed CPAP may well be the Gold Standard, but if it is not being used at all, or, as medically directed, these type patients can die. Dr. Ryan researched and studied Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) and sought out several of the best American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) Diplomate Instructors for a DSM Mini-Residency to help IADMD® and Dr. Dental®’s mission of best dentistry services improving and saving patient lives.

Because of the importance of everyone learning there are dental options for alternatives to the CPAP mask and machine, etc., IADMD Foundation, Inc., and Dr. Dental are currently expanding this knowledge for dentists and patients.
